Her Ladyship the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, has wished Ghanaians a Merry Christmas in a message to mark the occasion of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Here is the message:
This is to wish the beautiful people of Ghana, starting from His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to the last baby born in the last few hours, a very Happy Christmas and a restful holiday season.
Christmas is a good time to remember the most critical event in human history- the birth of God as a human being. John 1:14 states that the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory. Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 9:6, the following words; for onto us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government shall be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
As we wind down from the year 2023 and gear up to the year 2024, I wish that in our reflections as a nation, we will reflect on the message by the angels that announced the birth of Jesus Christ – Peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Let us endeavour to give fair treatment to all, and reduce the nation’s burden of cases in the courts and increase peace in our beloved country through this.
“Afehyia paoo, afi nko betohen. Nyame Nhyia yen nyinaa.”
The Lord bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong.
